Welcome! I am Kelley, creator and founder of Island House Creative. Fulltime, I am a mom of two, Insurance Compliance Manager and now, embroiderer. I am the one man running the show!
I have a deep love for monogramming, personalized children's items and creating pieces that hold memories for years to come. A few things I stand firm in: Any day ending in "Y" is always a good time to host friends and family, and a theme is always a must. I believe in sound creation, consistency and regardless of if it moves or not, it should have a monogram.
I began Island House Creative after my second child, my son, Anthony was born. After waiting for his birth to find out his gender (it was worth it, if you're pondering to do the same!), I wanted to get my hands on as many personalized items for him, as fast as I could. Wishing I could just monogram baby clothes on my own free will prompted me to purchase my first embroidery machine. Since then, I have turned my hobby into a venture, which has brought a wonderful creative outlet into my life. My love for monograms flourished with my daughter, Olivia. Anything I could put her name or monogram on, I would; I still do!
Our wedding was comprised of customized monogramming and branding. Ever since, I knew how special a personalized touch truly is.
The name, "Island House Creative" stems from my childhood. As a native Floridian, growing up, I spent the bulk of my summer's going to the Keys, scuba diving with my parents at Alligator Reef and deep-sea fishing. My father had a Mako boat named "Island Time" and a dream of always having an island home. His love for all things costal, the relaxed island lifestyle and love of the water resides within me and today; I see so much of that in my own daughter. I am incredibly thankful to be here, creating one of a kind and heirloom pieces for your children, home, and every aspect of life. I take great pride in my work and IHC. I will always go to great lengths to ensure your product is exactly as you imagined it.
Thank you for visiting Island House Creative,
Kelley
